It is impossible not to love delicate and graceful orchids, but buying such plants in the house is not always a good idea. Many flower lovers wonder why you can not keep orchids at home, and in what cases it is better to buy flowers simpler.
Difficult care
Orchids are as capricious as they are beautiful. They do not forgive mistakes and are not suitable for inexperienced flower growers. Orchids need special substrate soil, as well as regular and proper watering and transplants. These flowers are very light-loving but also do not like direct sunlight. Orchids are definitely not suitable for people who are rarely at home or often forget to water flowers.
Health Effects
Orchids can have real negative health effects, especially if they stand in the bedroom. Orchid flower pollen can cause drowsiness, headaches, coughing, throat scratchiness, and tearfulness, and not just for allergy sufferers.
If you do decide to buy orchids at home, do not put them in the bedroom, on the dining room table, or near the workplace.
Negative energy
Orchids are parasitic plants that grow on tree bark or stumps. This flower has often been attributed to the ability to “suck” energy out of a person. Many esotericists believe that orchids suppress the personality and energy of weak and tired people, causing incomprehensible anxiety and apathy.
However, this opinion is not supported by science. But superstitious people buying orchids is better to refuse, especially if you often feel tired and powerless.
Orchid superstitions
Another superstition, not confirmed by science, is that orchids are considered a “female” flower. Esotericists say that the plant reveals female strength and attractiveness, prolongs youth, and generally brings good luck to a woman’s home. But it is not recommended to buy or give orchids to men – according to omens, this flower feeds on men’s energy and can even affect male libido.
If there is a man in the house but does not want to part with a flower – it is better to put it in a place where a man is seldom. And a woman should take care of the flower.
